| The original digital gangsters
|
| Rhymes from the future that will take you to the past
|
| Breaking up the beats so hard they got a cast
|
| Make you say the int, and Lars and YT so cash
|
| Remember Hotline? |
| The Red H was incredible
|
| Shareware app cracks, my server was indelible
|
| Before AOL, eWorld and IRC
|
| Prodigy was the first home computing ISP
|
| My user handle? |
| SPSN82B
|
| 2400 baud on Dad’s Mac SE
|
| That’s when I, upgraded to my Mom’s LC
|
| To Netscape up on UseNet back in 1993
|
| My BBS was super fresh HyperCard shot callin'
|
| A YTCracker mighty hacker, hardly caught ballin'
|
| ReBirth was fat, Cubase was poppin'
|
| MIDI and MOD synths quantized and rockin'
|
| mp3.com had the Bentframe Comedy
|
| The Ghost in the Machine brought the digital harmony
|
| The Internet was dangerous, the Internet was fun
|
| Before Dual Core dropped still got things done
|
| It’s back to the future from the top of the totem
|
| Through these two copper wires // A line and a modem
|
| From the days when Usenet used to have a grammar code
|
| Before the mirror in your bathroom ever met your camera phone
|
| The BBS mothership: sailed for the piracy
|
| People on the web were concerned with their privacy
|
| Net neutrality is killing me (TRUE)
|
| What did telecoms do with money from me and you?
|
| From the old school (old fool) where we serve and we leech
|
| Give me free as in beer, give us free as in speech
|
| Reverse engineering to stabilize the protocol
|
| Up on IRC watching stolen cards overdraw
|
| We were coders, carders, and gamers
|
| Now we’re nerdcore bangers, MySpace gangsters
|
| Web 2.0 doesn’t even stand a chance
|
| If you diss P2P just to go hand-to-hand
|
| old fish in a young pond
|
| still phishing your account with a rolly on my arm
|
| roll you then I’m gone four nineteen chop ya dollar
|
| sit a little taller than my contemporaries
|
| I’m a little scary when I’m on the grind
|
| experian and equifax had em on the line
|
| used 'em all the time when i pulled the info
|
| address and your social all up in my window
|
| if i got your ip we can pull your nis
|
| 'Cause we got a bunch of databases think you get the gist
|
| don’t get angry, don’t get pissed 'cause you see us pulling cris
|
| and we make you ball a fist at your puter we dont miss
|
| saw us up at defcon popping bottles getting gone
|
| but you don’t wanna see us on your screen
|
| 'Cause int80, Lars and YT make a killer team
|
| and you know that were respected in the scene, ya feel me?
|
